Commercial fire alarm systems today are sophisticated and complex, protecting people and property in high-rise buildings, offices, medical complexes and school campuses. Fire and safety systems provide early detection and warning of smoke, fire or gas, alerting and directing occupants out of the building with safe evacuation procedures. In a fire emergency, seconds count. Neglecting to inspect, test and maintain your fire alarm system may result in loss of life and damage to property.
High Rise Security Systems Provides Professional Fire Alarm Maintenance
High Rise Security Systems provides comprehensive fire alarm services, including professional inspection, testing and maintenance to ensure every element of your alarm system is working at optimum performance. We provide regular inspection and maintenance services to keep your system up to code, and beyond required regulations when your structure or system requires it.
HRSS provides the data necessary for fire alarm system approval from the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and all fire safety code requirements including the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), all federal requirements such as Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and International Building Code (IBC) requirements.
Our main objective is your safety and protection which we take very seriously with a thorough and detailed checklist during inspections. We begin with a visual inspection of all components to check for obvious issues such as damaged casings or loose wiring and any apparent physical damage. Our fire system inspection checklist includes thoroughly inspecting the following:
-
- Control panel – This is the heart of the system, linking all devices to the central monitoring system and provides emergency dispatch to the local fire department.
- Circuitry – All circuitry and wiring is inspected by licensed technicians who check for any possible disconnections and wear of any circuitry which determines the effectiveness of network connections
- Detection Sensors – Smoke detectors are critical as the first line of defense alerting occupants to the threat of fire. These technical devices operate with infrared detection, photoelectric technology or both. Our technicians thoroughly evaluate and clean all detectors to maintain their high level of sensitivity.
- Heat Detectors – Heat detectors may activate if heat is detected before smoke, providing another line of defense
- Manual Alarm Pull Stations – HRSS technicians test all pull stations and replace any faulty equipment
- Notification Devices – Warning devices include alarms, horns, bells, lights and audible evacuation procedures. We ensure all notification devices are working properly.
- Power Source – ensuring continual power source is important. We check your battery backup system to be sure there is no lag in protection due to power.
- Damper and Door Releases – Doors should automatically unlock for evacuation and dampers should close to prevent the spread of fire.
- Annunciators: Must be located near the entrance of the building to provide a clear map to emergency responders
- Central Monitoring – Quick response is critical, we check the time it takes for emergency departments to receive the warning signal from the fire alarm system.
- Detection in Secondary Areas and Elevators – we check detection and alert systems in secondary locations such as elevator shafts, storage areas, and utility rooms.
